Go to walmart and buy the stereo there with the tv in it. We have to of them lovem. cheap but the moves play great
Just try to remember this stuff gets beat up pretty good in a boat. We have four amps one of our amps for the subs is a 2000 watt earthquake cheap but sure pushes our 6 subbs 4 12's 2 10's the rest of the three is foggate and a bunch of batteries

It's a local BoatTunes doing a 2 for 1 special on them. The deal DOES seem good. Are they worth the extra $90 for 2 pair (after tax) over the Diamond D-6's??

Here's what I've cobbled together after a night scrounging the internet:
Head unit: Alpine CDA-9885 $233.00
Sirius: Sirius Connect SIR-ALP1 $89.99
Speakers: JL Audio M650 CCXW $380.00 ( 2 pair-local shop after tax)
Opinions?

Looked at the numbers and seems you, as usual, are correct in your observation.....the 475 has louder, cleaner output than the Alpine unit. Did you have the M475? How complicated to operate?
btw- ended up buying the JL Audio's today.....figured a legit purchase at about $190 a pair was too good to pass on.

I didn't have the M475, but it is the head unit I'm going to use when I do my stereo in a few months. I had basically the same, but an older model that I installed in my last boat. It didn't have as many options since the sirus and ipod wasn't as popular. It was very simple to use. Originally, I had it installed w/o an amp and just 4 Babb 6x9's. It sounded as good as many stereo's that had amps. I wanted louder so I installed a 4x65 watt rms RF amp and it most people couldn't believe I didn't have a sub hidden somewhere.
That is a very good price for the JL's.

Back to the M475....I may go with that, Griff. A sub and amps just aren't in the budget right now, so I need a unit that will push good, clean sound at volume. Thanks for the help!

I have 2 6x9's and 2 5 1/4's. I swear they thump more than my 2 10" JL subs!
